Bio
A diminutive rover recruited from the strong Beverley amateur club, Chris Cameron faced the difficult task of breaking into a Carlton lineup that was building toward a premiership dynasty. Standing just 170cm, he relied on agility and crumbing ability to make an impact, managing to force his way into the senior side for five games during the 1913 season. However, with the Blues boasting a star-studded list that would go on to win back-to-back flags in the following two years, Cameron was ultimately squeezed out by the club's immense depth. His brief VFL career remains a footnote in a golden era for the Princes Park club, with his time at the elite level concluding just prior to the outbreak of the Great War.
